This mighty axe guarantees critical hits on any enemy that’s currently on fire, although it’s significantly weaker against enemies who aren’t.
— Axtinguisher publicity blurb

The Axtinguisher is an unlockable melee weapon for the Pyro class. A crude weapon, it consists of a slightly rusted axe-head stained with blood and wrapped in barbed wire, affixed to a curved wooden handle with a fabric grip and splintered end.

By itself, the weapon does half the damage of the regular Fire Axe, except against buildings. On the other hand, it will always perform a Critical hit against a target that is on fire yet will never have Critical hits on a non-burning opponent. The weapon may perform the Crit animation when swung, complete with the correct sound effect, but it will not inflict critical damage unless the victim is alight.

Trivia

  • On non-burning opponents, the Axtinguisher ties with the Gloves of Running Urgently and Equalizer (at 200+ Health) as being the weakest melee weapon in the game; however, unlike those others, the Axtinguisher does not deal random Crits.
  • Pyros will catch fire briefly when they are in the heart of a Flamethrower or being hit by the Flare Gun; using teamwork with a friendly Pyro will make it possible to axtinguish enemy Pyros. It is virtually impossible to do this solo even with the Degreaser's increased weapon switch time.
  • In the censored version of Team Fortress 2, the Axtinguisher and the Übersaw are not stained with blood.
  • The Axtinguisher can achieve Critical hits when boosted by a Crit boost but will still deal 50% damage unless the target is on fire.
